you're on. things have gone from 0 to 60 in america not long ago the streets were empty and there was once again birdsong in new york city while tonight's story is the story of america's chrono bice's corona virus crisis we are pounding the table morning noon and night stay home stay home stay home sam jackson with a new poem and take it away sam here we go. stay at all lucked out with experts and officials signaling that it was necessary until daily infections plateaux even stepping outside could be putting fellow citizens at risk so when states started to open up to some it felt like human lives were being put on the line others saw their god given rights being infringed on or felt this pharmaco bed was just like another fluke q cornton protests countered by the wrath

of the medical community. our. her come. are those who decided to get into your car this morning and take adroit and partake in the events today shame on me but in a matter of weeks that's all changed the cause has changed was that i. was. very good at those mass gatherings are finding support even among doctors and nurses. now does that mean that the coronavirus is no longer a threat no of course not but sometimes risks have to be taken to bring about
6:05 am
change and many medical workers know the price of being black in america something a pandemic will not change and they took my patient away my black eye this is exactly what happened before at the other hospital as soon as i told somebody i mean measurement and trying to advocate for my patient they take the patient away from me and then they. literally black lives don't matter here share one person's story but that's not the case everywhere just look at the numbers african to. american deaths from coban 1000 are nearly 2 times higher than expected on national average in some states even triple but numbers are being ignored especially 2 meters down just a little distance george floyd's death has flooded the nation with protests the president seems to think dominating black people dominating peaceful protesters is law and order it's not he calls them folks who use the folk here so they are frustrated and they're angry and they are out there i think that the protests make
6:06 am
sense i don't think you can process the anger without a some things are worth fighting for systemic racism is one of them but defending the constitution while heavily armed what do you say fox news protestors are saying it up as a people want to go back to work they can people have a right to protest some of these state restrictions may be too severe and as more and more states go online and get their rights back that is going to fuel i believe other states to go so we have one set of protesters good to go but black lives matter and justice for george floyd public health experts now fear massive protests could spark new coronavirus outbreaks governor larry hogan of maryland warning that because of the recent protests we could see a 2nd wave of the corona virus when you look at the pictures and consider there is virtually no social distancing and very few people are wearing masks add to that smoke from fires and tear gas which makes people cough and you've got

resigned as offices. meantime minnesota state representative is joined growing calls to disband the minneapolis police force she argues that it's beyond reform and is backing calls from minneapolis politicians proposing that the police department is dissolved also the city's now banned the use of chokeholds by police new rules require officers to report and intervene to when they see the unauthorized use of force by colleagues next host rick sanchez explains why the reforms might not be enough. in a case like this i don't want my police department to be privatized i don't like what's happening with the prisons since they have been privatized so i think it's essential to keep the police as a form of our government i also think it's important for us to realize that police officers can't do everything i've been watching videos on you tube yesterday i saw their life where they call the cops because the guy was fouled during

6:09 am
a basketball game there are videos of schools teachers they can have all the student these are really they call the police these are not police functions were over policing the solution is to look for ok let's let's start with the for the problem is crime right we have too much crime in america we really don't the numbers are way down as a matter of fact so the numbers of crime are way down but the number of hiring of police officers is way up ok so if we say we want to be able to attack whatever nefarious. in our society we want people to be better we want to create better citizens we want to create non-criminals you start at the beginning you don't start out on the back again but if you were to turn on c.n.n. or of us embassy or fox news right now they would tie everything to the george floyd incident without looking outside of that the danger with that is we will then think oh they just passed a new policy that says you're no longer allowed to use that joe cole ok everything is solved no everything is not solved because the underlying problems are that's
6:10 am
still an underlying problem and until we attack that root we're essentially going to continue to have these situations next new in across the copra willed major firms and brands of rushton that to show that they're on the protests side in the call for justice and reform flooding the social media and images of solidarity and messages like that but this is certainly one of the biggest retailers in question it's accused of playing both sides. the in a quick simple and brutal treatment of black people in our country must stop together we stand in solidarity with the black community our employees customers and partners in the fight against systemic racism and injustice.
6:11 am

6:13 am
increasingly agitated and police crowd 9 #. it happened during protests in mexico 2nd largest city some demonstrators tried to break into the story government palace there while others say cars on fire right officers used battens and tear gas to try to disperse the crowd the unrest centers on the death of a man in police custody last month video of his violent arrest was spread widely online. we cannot. ever know. giovanni lopez was detained by mexican police in early may he was arrested for allegedly not wearing a mask in public the authorities say is arrest was done to aggressive behavior the 30 year old later died because of a head injury the authorities have pledged
6:14 am
a thorough investigation and 3 police officers have been arrested well the disturbance has coincided with solidarity rallies over the death of george floyd the u.s. embassy in mexico city as seen protesters damage the fortified fence there some even trying to climb over it mexican journalist miss you told yeah it was outside the compound areas. so as you can see the u.s. embassy is just there. this is the wall there mexican authorities build up last night to protect the embassy people strong storms and the police the mexican police who were deployed there they are searching gas. shooting shooting the protesters with. good charcoals you know that both greece spain had been. deleted. facebook is starting to
6:15 am
tug certain users pages to clearly highlight who it considers to be state controlled media including r t it also plans to ban them from buying out in the united states ahead of november's presidential election but all that said this seems to be some selectivity as to who gets flagged up here's our senior correspondent we're going to have to explain more than a new day a new facebook scandal this time it isn't about them selling out their users or allowing opposition activists to be tracked to establishing another censorship panel well it kind of actually is the start it's about facebook deciding for you who you should trust. several months ago we announced our plans to label media outlets that are wholly or partially under the editorial control of the government and today we're starting to apply labels to those state controlled media outlets were providing greater transparency into these publishers because they combined the
6:16 am
influence of a media organization with the strategic backing of the state and we believe people should know if the news they read is coming from a publication that may be under the influence of the government so we'll skip over the irony here someone who is under the influence of a government which is facebook which regularly censors what the us government tells it to censor telling everyone else that you shouldn't trust those who are under the influence of the government you following and facebook takes great pride in making sure that what you read is approved by censors in the u.s. only 53 percent of americans trust the news sources that use so we're making it easier to learn more about an article right in your facebook news feed what it has done the start is remarkable even by its standards so they go to label any news media that they believe is funded or influenced by a state as state controlled media except they're not there only labeling media that
6:17 am
the u.s. government doesn't like r.t. for example chinese state media in what is mathematically highly improbable coincidence facebook and the u.s. government seem to have identical least of media that they don't like or perhaps the more rational explanation is that facebook just got a call from washington telling them again what to do but how do you sit there and say that russian and chinese media should be labeled but then claim that voice of america is independent voice of america we are journalists and we believe that we promulgated american thing. values by promulgating the basic things are important to america she just said they spread american values in a way that benefits america to largely foreigners and in the same sentence that they are independent yet voice of america doesn't get the label the b.b.c.
6:18 am
funded by taxpayers and the u.k. government accused by some time and time again of being essentially a mouthpiece for the government doesn't get the label agassi were run by cattle which is essentially a family run dictatorship doesn't get the label saudi arabia its media don't get the label i think you know archie's official statement sums it up facebook is doing as it's told by its government but pretending otherwise a us company long and bad with the us establishment telling the entire rest of the world what it can and cannot say is the definition of technological dictatorship and censorship labeling for an editorial independent news outlets is anything but isn't top of fostering prejudice and xenophobia a prime example of the very fake news that facebook is supposedly trying to combat
6:19 am
. the head of artes website says he will appeal facebook's move we've been in touch with facebook for an explanation response to if we do hear anything back anytime soon we'll let you know what they have to say i spoke about this to independent journalist. he thinks the tech giant is getting government pressure. i don't think facebook or twitter want to get involved in any of this they were reluctant to do so they were heavily pressured by congress to take measures like this because the congress can't directly do this because government congress is not allowed to censor the press the private companies can so that's why they're getting them as proxies of the u.s. government to do the censoring for them so this is absolutely a double standard it's totally political and there's a new election coming up this is clearly related to that as well they need to push narrative that far and outside it just like there are outside agitators in these protests in the u.s. right now they're outside agitators influencing the policy they don't want to take responsibility for the mess they've made of their own country the leaders of the
6:20 am
any leader that says that they blames outsiders that could be a middle east dictator or us governor or president of the us. this is the weekend hi there it's exactly 20 minutes past the hour what crazy world it is at the moment that you'd think anyone would be fun i would to know about the coronavirus and how the kids of course but emotionally just finding out about it will we meet a man only q. journey of discovery came about for the break he's emerged from a coma only to find a totally different world in a locked. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics for. i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

6:26 am
this would happen throughout the whole country. so how do you know what's in the tissue had no money in it and when his body temperature rose and the other classic symptoms evolved with suspected cold it more than once we conducted tests which likely excluded the possibility of corona virus infection i knew they saved me and when i told them about the problems of my everyday life they said it doesn't matter if you're alive and bless god for this. and that when our friends or people online say it's hard to stay home we can
